Apache Hudi enables you to create and manage a data lakehouse; database-like capabilities - including efficient upserts, deletions, and incremental data processing - on the data lake. It is a revolutionary open source framework that transforms the way data engineers and data scientists interact with large-scale datasets. 

‍

These capabilities are implemented using metadata alongside data lake file storage. Read this early release chapter from the upcoming O’Reilly ebook to learn how to efficiently read from Hudi.
